Every day I find out new stuff that boggles my mind about the whole front office like the difference between Sheets home and rode splits. Sheets shouldn't even be playing on the road. Where's analytics with this simple info. Who's getting important info to the people who could use it ? So here's another one. Brandon Drury, with his 20 HR, which the Sox surely could've used is traded for an 18 yo, DR, SS in the ACL that the Padres paid $1.8M for 2 or 3 years ago. I don't know maybe he was exactly what the Reds wanted considering the Padres got Drury and no one else did. However, how could the Sox not beat that ? Did they even look into Drury ? He's a multi-positional guy who would've easily been the Sox best power hitter. Couldn't some underling have been looking into what other teams were looking for . Are the Sox understaffed ? There's a lot going on in the off season and during the trade deadline. They'd have to have some idea Drury would be available for at least a month now. How is he overlooked ?

I think asking who was the worst GM of all time just deflects attention away from how truly bad the current FO really is. It takes a whole team of guysto acomplish anything at the trade deadline when there are so many guys available. Like I just posted above about Brandon Drury. Maybe the Padres gave up exactly what the Reds wanted but it's hard for me to believe the Sox couldn't top some 18 yrs old SS in the ACL.

I was posting with Caulfield about Brandon Drury and what the Padre gave up for him, an 18 yr old SS in the ACL who the Padres paid $1.8 for in the Intl. draft out of the DR who is now playing in the ACL after the DSL last year. Looks like Preller gets a lot of help from the bean counters on his staff . I don't know maybe other front offices actually have whole teams of guys working on these trades trying to fit the pieces together like a puzzle. Maybe the Sox just aren't run that way. Everything about the Sox front office screams incompetence. Some underling could've been looking into what the Reds wanted for Drury . Are the Sox just undermanned in the FO because JR doesn't pay around the fringes ? I just can't understand how the Sox weren't in on him. He's not LH but the power need was great. Maybe that Acosta kid is the next Tatis but his ACL numbers are a lot worse than his DSL number but maybe he's had some health issues. Hard to draw any conclusions by looking at stats.

But I'm confused are those his stats against LHP which is the question you answered or his total stats in all AB's because they are slightly different with overall stats being .422 .500. 800 @ Birmingham vs what you said .422 .490 .644 ? Looks to me like it's his combined total between Winston Salem and Birmingham against LHH. Way better power numbers against RHP but better BA against LHP. Either way RHP or LHP those numbers play very well !

Because we're talking about Moncada, Not the front office. I already give them enough shit which you see in my next post addressing your post about Drury.

An 18 yr old SS off their ACL roster which is only a step above the DSL . Drury would've easily been our top HR hitter. For SD he's their super utility guy like Leury is to the Sox . It's just pitiful how dysfunctional the Sox FO is.

But that's ok for a Rookie who makes nothing. That's expected. It's like what happened to Vaughn last year. From Moncada him hitting like some rookie like its his 1st time through the league against all pitching while ripping the Sox off for millions of dollars . IF the Sox had a big lead in the division like last year you could maybe get Burger AB's like they did with Vaughn last year. Moncada actually being very good was counted on by the people who paid him and the fans who expected the rebuild to work. If him and Eloy had actually been either not hurt or not sucked this team might've started looking like Houston instead of the pre rebuild Sox. I know I am keeping Hahn, JR and TLR out of the conversation regarding sucking but there's a lot of shit that went wrong.

Just a one in a million type of broadcaster and person. Rest easy Vinnie !

Yea that was last year but he's got none this year on the road.

Plus throw in 2 herniated discs in the last 10 years and cataracts in both eyes ,but I don't feel bad at all. Cataracts ending up giving me the best vision I've had since I was pretty young. I'm Sale thin always have been. Aging hasn't put any weight on me because with my back it kills me any extra poundage in the midsection.

Except for Sheets. SHeets is a God at home and a worm on the road.

Martin Perez not going to start for the Rangers ? Dunning ?

Could be totally unrelated to his diet. Could be a DNA thing built into his system like weak heart valves. You never know. Me and a couple of my brothers all have autoimmune diseases like Rheumatoid arthritis, MS and Lupus. So we always had a higher risk of getting Covid. My diet sucks but I haven't had a cold in around 3 years.

Not eating right. Not eating his Flinstones Vitamins.

Hmm Stoney started talking about what they found about Robert. Vitamin deficiency .. then cut off by the Engel out.

When expectations are high , no matter who it is , no one is spared, especially high priced talent expected to be something they haven't become.

Rich pretty boy living the high life. Probably why he got Covid. Young stupid, been called soft here a long time. I used to defend him but I can't anymore.

If I was a millionaire and had to ride a bus I wouldn't care. I'm not paying for the transportation. Beats real work.

It's all very hush hush cannot reveal sources .

Doubt much can shake him up. He's collecting $M's regardless. Hit good, hit poor ,minor ,majors, don't matter.

RISP GB to SS rinse and repeat

Like Yoan wearing a wig in Chicago Heights ?
